Are you sure the hosting provider actually allows telnet connections?

You probably shouldn't use telnet anyway -- try SSH instead.  My first
rule when looking at shared hosting providers is that I won't use one
that doesn't allow me encrypted remote access.  Since telnet isn't
encrypted, a man-in-the-middle attack (among other means) can be used to
intercept your username and password when you try to log in via telnet.
